Well, to start off this new topic, I would like to go back over a few things said in the prior forum discussion.

My goal with this site was to gather information slowly and form sort of a survival guide, but I wanted to keep it web based, but down loadable (that will happen eventually, just hasn't yet.)
What are you thinking for publishing? Do you want to do a paper published book or web published? Do you want to make it a PDF file? How do you want to do it?
Well, now that we have a designated interest in this subject that will determine how well this guide is, we need to first state that this guide will be published first and foremost as a PDF file so it can be opened and viewed by most everyone online.
The printing of the book will be on ones own terms and used for absolutely no profit gains. This will be created by a non-profit Corporation (yes ZHN is now a non-profit corporation) and ZPI is a free discussion forum. There are no fees to be a member of either of them, and I am not here to steel your ideas and strategies for personal profit - so there should be no worries about this. This will complete your reason for having the site and will help for those outside of the group in a whole.

If you do want to publish it as an actual book, then I highly recommend Lulu.com. They don't charge you anything, but take a fee from the cost of the sale.
They can let you sell one at a time, or you can have hundreds printed up for resale. They will sell it right from their site, or you could set it up to sell it from your own site (The sale still goes through them, and they send you the money after their fee is out.)
They are who I was going to go through when I was going to write my own.
If everyone here casts a poll to see if this shall become a profitable publication, then it shall be as such with the agreement of Eliot and myself coming to terms. We will be discussing such affairs in the background to keep the forums free of political gibberish.

If you would like to use any of my theories or oh so witty quips, NIE, feel free. As long as I get a mention in your book. I would love to use everyones tactical views and theories as a whole, but we would love to keep this guide as a serious guide to survival. If humor is added, it is because the book needs to have some characteristics within it.
If you wish to have some information added or want to have a topic/ quote posted, please post the information or link such topic so that I can view the information and edit it into the publication.
If you wish to become a guide "Key" character please insert a plain text name saying you wish to be a key. "Keys" are basically the role characters that play examples within publications and how to manuals.
[I.E- Look at Little Johnny- He decided to hot dog a kill and got too close to the zombie. The ending effect was a harsh bite from the zombie he was trying to kill. Now Mr. Joe has to shoot both Little Johnny and the zombie. Such a shame.]
Well, that is all for now. Will be waiting for responses from you all to see what your out take on this subject is.

Alright, going home... Will be back on in a few. If you need me, please send me a note. Will be back on in a few. Also, will not fully start on creating this publication until I get some feedback and have completed my Appendix A.
Will be back shortly.

I think one of the most important Articles we have on this entire site, is the one regarding Electricity and how long it will be in operation. That was MY big question for Z-Day, and it answered it ten times over.
I would love to see if we can get that Authors permission for a reprint in the Guide.
On Z-Day, the first thing I am going to do is scream like a little girl. Once that's out, I will be ready to function.

Heheh. Um. No. I can try, but ... uh ... it's not the easiest to get a hold of her and she wasn't terribly open to me using it in the first place, mostly because it belongs to another magazine. It is going to make the most sense to simply cite it.
All that needs to be said is this: FIRE = BAD
In the book, it should mention best locations for safe havens, do's and donts for where to build and protect said area.
Training programs so that the reader can know how to train (e.g. joging, shin ups, push up, etc,etc,etc)
Also, perferable weapons: What weapon would be ideal for different situations (eg: what to use in close quarters, shovel, knife, sword, baseball bat so on, and so forth)
Thats all i got so far

Oh, yeah, you heard me! THE MUPPET SHOW SAID SO!!!
I'm really bored, so I'm going to write up a paper on vehicles of all sorts, pros and cons of certain types, and that kind of thing. If I really have a lot of free time I might write a quick motor vehicle troubleshooting guide of some sort.
Edit: Maybe some other time.... open office screwed up as usual and I lost what I had typed, so I kind of lost all motivation. Maybe I'll start later tonight.......
Please take a look at the PDF file at the top of the page. This is what I had when I stopped writing it a couple months ago. Though I have a shit load of paperwork on different tactics that could be used and mostly terms and frases that I had researched through the year.
This is what the main look will be like, but the content will change due to the fact that this was an old start. We need a new start.
The way I had started these publications was as a multiple book series of information on specific areas, information needed for specified tasks, etc...
(IE- One manual would be general zombie survival; the second would be specific strategies to defend yourself in your house, work, or on the go; the third would have statistics and more information on weapons and tools that you can use and where to find them, etc...)
Give me some input.

Well, the sword was cool at any rate.
Ok, really like the way you have the "Feel" of the Survival Guide set up so far, at least int his version. It has to be understood that this is REAL, not for "Entertainment purposes".
It look great, just let me know what you would like to have from me. I love it so far.
On Z-Day, the first thing I am going to do is scream like a little girl. Once that's out, I will be ready to function.
I also have very good hunting and scouting tips that can be used for the guide, just contact me if you are ineterested.
